Hey! Just want to share this article.
No-hardware-requirements-for-android-3-0-honeycomb
If all of these are true then our Archos 101IT and 70IT would be seeing Honeycomb.
We could now Root our devices without Installing the SDE (using Archangel).
Now we wait to see if Archos will also go the Honeycomb update!

Yes, it's been posted here and there for a few days. But with the availability of a Honeycomb build for archos might depend more on the goodwill of Archos than on the hardware requirements :'(
hmm.. Well, for everything people say about Archos and their Support. They seem to be pretty generous with their updates so I wouldn't be surprised if we get Gingerbread &/or Honeycomb in the future
If you have played with the honeycomb emulator in the Android SDK, you might of been disapointed that it looked like honeycomb was only for tablets, but an insider at HTC has leaked some info about the new HTC Revolver, allegedly shipping with honeycomb. this is great news hopefully meaning google are working on a smartphone version of homneycomb aswell

The next version of Android after Honeycomb is reportedly merging Honeycomb and regular android together according to Eric Shmidt at MWC

I just got my Adam on Friday, and have been enjoying it without having done anything too hackish to it yet (thanks largely in part to the Amazon appstore).
I'm not really sold on the Eden UI system yet - it still feels a little bit buggy and not fully baked to me, but it may have potential. But if it were open source, any of us could work to improve it, and I do remember it being mentioned on the blog that the NI software would be open sourced (correct me if I'm wrong, hard to understand precisely what is meant sometimes).

Source for other Notion Ink’s Application: If you are looking for the code for any specific apps on the Adam, you can directly write to developers at notionink dot com and they will add you in the priority list! All the softwares developed by Notion Ink are open source and will be shared with the community soon. As far as the SDK goes, we are migrating from 2.2-2.3 to Honeycomb and once the platform is stable, will be shared with the developers.

Given that the Honeycomb source isn't to be released any time soon, I'm curious what people's opinions are about whether Eden/NI software could make a viable open-source alternative to Honeycomb?
Would you prefer an open-source Eden/Froyo/Gingerbread rom over a Honeycomb rom (if the Honeycomb source is closed)?
Or would you rater drop Eden and stick to Android roms? (whether they be Honeycomb or not)
Would you like to see Eden ported over to more tablets? (which may or may not support Honeycomb any time soon) Do you think it could be an effective Honeycomb alternative for other tablets?
EDIT: Had to shorten the poll answers, here's what I'm asking:
Honeycomb, even if it can't be rooted/customized - you just want Honeycomb at all costs and don't care about its hack potential
Honeycomb, rooted and customized - you want Honeycomb, but only if it can be effectively hacked/customized
I'd rather stick to an Eden/AOSP-based system - you want maximum flexibility and see Eden/latest android source as a viable alternative, or may be a purist in terms of open source
Drop Eden, latest open-source Android - you don't care for Eden, but do want your system open source
At the moment Eden sucks and gives no added value in my opinion.
Nevertheless I would like to see a Honeycomb Eden version.
If I should choose right here and know I would choose Honeycomb (and of course it can be customized and rooted - its a bit foolish to think that this will not happen...)
@rolliradi8 : +1
I really don't like eden, loving Beast or VEGAn ROMs thought..
But honeycomb would be super awesome!
Allthough I am also really excited for trying Mad Murdock's CM7 ROM..
For Heroes of Newerth and HonCast.com fans.
Something I wrote for myself that maybe someone would be interested in using.
This is NOT an official App, and I am in no way affiliated with the great guys at Honcast.com (shoutout!). I'm just sharing the joy of being a (mobile) fan.
The app allows viewing of Honcast (www.honcast.com) VoD on the tablet either via browser (Flash necessary) or a media player (DicePlayer/MXPlayer, etc.)
Currently runs ONLY on ICS and Honeycomb.
Tested ONLY on the Asus Transformer TF101, running ICS.

Updated: Now allows downloading of episodes to your mobile, and layout updated to support large-form high-res phones (like the Galaxy Nexus)

Acer Iconia Tab Tablets Updated to Android 4.0
San Jose, CA
Acer America is now updating its award-winning Acer Iconia™ Tab line of tablets with the latest version of Android 4.0 OS (Ice Cream Sandwich).
The update is being pushed to Acer Iconia Tab A200 customers over-the-air now in the United States and will be completed over the following week. The Acer Iconia Tab A100 7-inch tablet and Acer Iconia Tab A500 10-inch tablet will both be updated in April.
With Android 4.0, the Acer Iconia Tab line will provide new features to give customers more usability and enjoyment from their tablets. Customers will notice the improvements right away—including the faster browser, enhanced app and folder management options, more intuitive navigation, and a completely reimaged design that is more polished with enhanced holographic effects. Plus, customers can more easily customize their Acer tablets and will enjoy improved multitasking and switching between tasks.

"Customers will experience greater entertainment and productivity with the many new capabilities and features on their tablets."
In addition, customers will appreciate that Android 4.0 brings them improved integration with Gmail's email and calendar functions.
Features and enhancements unique to Acer tablets

Photos and video enhance memories
Acer Iconia Tab customers will be able to do more with their precious photos and video thanks to the Android 4.0 update. Acer customers will enjoy improved zoom and be able to take snapshots while recording video. Customers will also be able to capture better still images and do more with them due to greater image stabilization and improved integration with third-party apps.
